Abstract
We propose a novel design of a 3D chiral metasurface behaving as a spatial polarization converter with asymmetric transmission. The metasurface is made of a lattice of metallic one-and-a-half-pitch helical particles. The proposed metasurface exhibits a dual-band asymmetric transmission accompanied by the effect of complete polarization conversion. Regarding circularly polarized waves, the metasurface demonstrates a strong circular dichroism. A prototype of the metasurface is manufactured for the quasi-optic experiment by using a 3D printing technique utilizing a cobalt–chromium alloy, which exhibits good performances against thermal fatigue and corrosion at high temperatures.
